About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open Label, Single-Dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of VI-0521 in Subjects With Hepatic Impairment and In Healthy Control Subjects

This study is designed to determine the effects of a single dose of the study medication in subjects with and without hepatic impairment. 18 to 24 subjects will participate by having multiple blood draws taken to measure the level of study medication in their blood over time.

Read the detailed description

This study will look at the effect of a single does of study medication in three groups. Each group will have 6 - 8 subjects with similar levels of hepatic impairment. Group 1 will have normal hepatic function. Groups 2 and 3 will be made up of subjects with mild to moderate hepatic impairment. Subjects will have blood taken at specific intervals to measure study medication levels. Subject participation will last approximately 7 to 9 days.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Phentermine and Topiramate in people with Hepatic Impairment, run by VIVUS LLC at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pharmacokinetics (time frame: 9 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Dec 2009.
